Welcome to the Wilmington Massachusetts local guide and business directory providing community information, news and pictures. Wilmington was formed as an independent town in 1730 and has retained a high portion of its historic beginnings in the form of 18th century houses. The Baldwin apple is supposed to have been discovered here in the 1790's on Butters Farm and after some heavy disagreements with other communities in the area, a bronze plaque duly commemorates the discovery.

For quite some time in the 17 and 1800s Wilmington was largely a farming community and so the Middlesex Canal was built so that the residents could ship their produce to market. The largest shipments were of hops because Wilmington was the largest grower of hops in the state.

The recently built commuter rail train station has plenty of parking and is a convenient alternative to driving. An early railroad corridor served to connect Wilmington to Boston, Lowell and Andover. It was completed in 1836 and trolley lines were set up in the late 19th century. At this time the town was primarily an agricultural economy growing fruit, vegetables and cranberries and there were also a number of slaughterhouses. The major industry in Wilmington was the Perry, Cutler and Co. tannery.

After the completion of Route 128 the population of Wilmington has more than quadrupled and it has become a popular choice for professionals to purchase single family residences for their families to grow and thrive in. Nowadays it is rare to even see a farm in Wilmington-but upscale executive type developments are becoming more common place. Given the fact that it is nestled between Routes 128, 93 and 3A, it has become a commuter's dream location which has lots to offer the growing family.

Red Heat Tavern and Geeks Who Drink team up to offer pub-style quizzes every Tuesday at Red Heat Tavern. Enjoy a rotating selection of $3 tacos – think fish, carnitas, or braised beef — and $5 House Margaritas while your test your wits with Geeks Who Drink trivia quizzes. Each night’s quiz features eight increasingly challenging rounds of eight questions each. This isn’t just for bookworms — the quiz boasts multiple rounds of audio and visual clues. The quiz is designed to reward the most versatile teams: most folks over 35 will be stumped on questions about the Xbox 360, while most Millennials will likely know less about the Reagan years. There’s no cost to enter and no need to sign up beforehand, so just show up ready to play! Each team is limited to six people, with a house team for those flying solo. Smack talk is sure to fly with some friendly competition and social drinking. After two hours of entertainment and a healthy dose of friendly taco and margarita fueled competition, the top two teams will walk away with gift certificates to Red Heat Tavern. Plus, there are email giveaways and vouchers awarded throughout the night that can be used instantly on your favorite beverage.

For those who have never been to an EdCamp you might be surprised to see that there is no schedule when you arrive. Initially, we will commence in the auditorium, go over a few logistical pieces, and then build the schedule. We will be explaining our schedule building first thing in the morning. We will have two schedule building sessions, one in the morning, and one after lunch. To lead a session you don’t have to have a session or slide deck prepared. An EdCamp session can be…

A questionA debateA conversationA presentationA workshop

An EdCamp session can be whatever you want it to be. Additionally, an EdCamp session does not need to include technology or any apps. Also, if you find yourself in a session and feel that it’s not right for you or you simply want to get to as many sessions as possible, it is completely fine to leave one session and find another.
